Utards, XC ride tomorrow

[altagirl]

I couldn't race, so we went to I Street both days instead. I'm gonna try to make that my one miss of the season, and hit all the other Utah Series races. Pretty frustrating given that Bountiful is the closest in the series :shrug:. Gonna have to drive to Pomerelle after all...how is it?

Anyway, you've got PM skibe.

Pomarelle isn't too bad of a drive and was a fun course too. Excellent camping nearby - really scenic sites around a lake.

Lava Hot Springs (the other Idaho race they included like 2 years ago in our series) OTOH is the worst DH course in the history of the world. It's like you should almost go just because you wouldn't believe how much it sucks unless you see it in person. Except then you'd be pissed you went.

Edit: Yikes. On the Wild Rockies website they say that Lava Hot Springs "Devil's Staircase" is part of the 2005 Utah State Series. But it's not listed on Go-Ride's site, unless it's the August TBD race. But Devil's Staircase is Sept 25th.

2" of travel won't be too much fun on any trail.

Buzz, it may be time to upgrade.

Oh, believe me, I would love to. Not in the cards though in the near future. I don't even look right now, it is too damn depressing.

And my forks are now flat too.

I really don't want to put anymore money into this bike, but I am not seeing another choice at this point. Need cables and housing replaced too it looks.


Edit: $3300 stands in my way

Bumping a classic.

Anyone riding this week? I'm heading up to do a spin cycle lap this evening, and talked to Bag briefly and mentioned maybe a Wednesday evening ride after work? Buellah?

[powderwhore]

I would but I can't so I won't.

Might get a quicky on the Quarry sometime this week.

6pm tonight at Snowpark Lodge to ride Spin Cycle.

And I'm up for more rides this week - someone just say when and where! Can anyone else do early morning LCC Quarry trail rides? Like 7am?

Great ride tonight up in Deer Valley. Spin Cycle is so sweet. Sweet like candy, even. It was good to ride with Altard and AG and the yellow dog Moose, who likes to eat large bugs.

There was some talk of more rides this week - with all this heat we should be able to get up high on Deer Valley soon. Maybe a Spiro-->Thaynes-->Steps-->John's later in the week? Anyone in?

[Ski Monkey]

I might be in for later this week. Depends on how work goes, I'll know as we get closer.

[skibe]

Turns out I can't make it in the morning AG.

What's on for tomorrow? I can be ready to go around 5.

[stump832]

Lets go ride in Park City. We could meet somewhere at 6.

No problem - another time!

the yellow dog Moose, who likes to eat large bugs.

He's quite vicious, if you're an insect. Though we've had to take him to the vet for spider bites, so even then you've got a pretty good shot at kicking his ass...
